INDY510

This is how I fixed that spot: I used one piece of cold rolled 16 gauge, instead of overlapping thin metal on top of thicker metal:

Cool idea. What engine? QR25DE or a VQ?

It's not an LS, but I think this is the blue V8 Hardtop you remember:

I think they are Retro-spec flares: http://retrospec-datsun-510.blogspot.com/ but do some research before sending them money (I heard some complaints, and they might be out of business)

Amazing! … I bet anyone who saw it crashed was shocked to see it racing again.

Damn... you guys are impressive. What a transformation (before and after the crash)

If that's a big dent in the driver's door, it's going to Florida:

Ebay and Amazon take forever now … Summit is practically overnight delivery still .. (I don't know about fans, but I doubt they sell ebay/amazon quality) Oh, and this wagon is awesome

You should measure the width of your windshield, because it looks like your roof was widened during the chop and the stock 620 glass might be too narrow now.

Can you use adjustable lower control arms, with heim joints? There are a lot of companies in the US selling those

I didn't realize how different the sheet metal was …. my 74 Hardtop looked like this:

Looking good! …. Hopefully you can find a good 74 rear bumper

VTO wheels from Futo-Fab look like panasports/mini-lites too … I think you can get new minilites in Europe, but they'd be a lot more than VTO or Rotas

No.... a 14x6 +0 would be 10mm more …. so a 14x8 +0 would be 34mm more

That's a different one. This one went to Hector in San Jose. Then it sold to Glen (the vintage Datsun race car driver), but he sold it to "driving while awesome" a couple years ago The one you posted was finished before this thread started … I took this pic in 2010:

I'm looking for a cheap fiberglass 510 trunk lid.

August 11th:

I wonder if the pedal doesn't go as far down on the infiniti? … and the dirt is making it get stuck too far down for a second.

Holy cow! this is an awesome project!

Ha. I'm doing a similar project with 2006 Miata parts and a 510. The giant brake booster and deleting the ABS system are both giving me headaches. I'm curious to see if the non-abs master helps. What all did you do to the ABS wiring? Are all the wheel sensors still hooked up and going to the ABS computer that you separated from the brake line block? I think I need the wheel sensors for the speedo to work.

This project is looking awesome! Did you decide on what master cylinders to run? I had a hard time finding any sizing charts, but I heard you can contact tilton and get their recommendation for what bore you need.

What kind of metal do you think theses headlight bezels are? I thought they were stainless, but maybe they are pot-metal? What do you use to weld it?

Then cut a bunch of structural integrity out of the evo front end to make the 510 fenders fit: This car was never finished. These are the only photos I have ever seen of it. The owner sold it as an unfinished project in the UK.

Then hope your newly shortened evo will fit under a 510:
